Hep-Th, or high-energy theoretical physics, explores the fundamental building blocks of our universe and the forces that govern them. Researchers in this field use complex mathematics to understand everything from subatomic particles to the behavior of black holes, often pushing the boundaries of what we know about space and time.
At Gist.Science, we monitor the arXiv repository to ensure you stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly evolving discipline. For every new preprint uploaded to arXiv under this category, our team generates both accessible plain-language overviews and detailed technical summaries, making cutting-edge research understandable regardless of your background.
Below are the latest papers in high-energy theoretical physics, curated to help you navigate the most significant recent discoveries.
This paper proposes a unified diagrammatic interpretation for hidden zeros and $2$-splits in tree-level amplitudes of , NLSM, and Yang-Mills theories by introducing "shuffle factorization along a specific line" (SFASL), a mechanism that separates Feynman diagrams under specific kinematic constraints.
This paper reviews the QCD phase diagram at small chemical potentials, identifying three distinct regimes—the hadron gas, a "stringy fluid," and the quark-gluon plasma—which are differentiated by their symmetries, degrees of freedom, and scaling.
This paper investigates the thermodynamics and interior structures of dynamical "end of the world" branes in a rotating BTZ black hole by mapping them to an effective Jackiw-Teitelboim system and exploring potential phase transitions between different interior brane configurations.
The paper demonstrates that the Weyl (trace) anomaly induces a new non-dissipative vector current in accelerated relativistic fluids, uniquely determining the second-order transport coefficient that couples electromagnetic fields to fluid acceleration.
This paper demonstrates that torus one-point functions in critical loop models can be expressed via sphere four-point functions at a different central charge, allowing the authors to use a numerical bootstrap approach to systematically compute these functions as infinite linear combinations of conformal blocks.
The paper introduces **SWIM** (Stochastic Warm Inflation Module), a C++/Python-based numerical platform that enables the generation of fully numerical scalar power spectra for any warm inflation model and integrates with Cobaya to facilitate efficient parameter estimation against cosmological data using machine learning techniques.
This paper investigates the quantum information properties of -vacua in de Sitter space by using Unruh-DeWitt detectors to show that entanglement harvesting and quantum discord exhibit distinct behaviors for time-like and space-like separations, specifically demonstrating "sudden death" for time-like entanglement and superhorizon suppression for quantum discord.
This paper derives the one-loop effective 3-dimensional Lagrangian for the high-temperature limit of the electroweak theory and the Standard Model effective field theory up to , providing a precise framework for studying the electroweak phase transition.
This article resolves apparent discrepancies between the spectral representation and calculations within the Soft-de-Sitter Effective Theory (SdSET) for the anomalous dimensions of principal series fields coupled to compact scalar vertex operators, simultaneously provides new proofs for positivity conditions, and demonstrates the equivalence between the renormalization group flow in SdSET and the resummation of bubble diagrams.
This paper investigates the thermodynamics and phase structure of a deformed AdS-Schwarzschild black hole generated via gravitational decoupling, demonstrating how the deformation parameter drives diverse phase transitions in both the bulk and its dual conformal field theory across various thermodynamic ensembles.
